For a pick-up truck

Thought this was pretty cool.


More people should have these. I'm tired of seeing dogs flung from pickups or hanging on for dear life.

That's a mighty fancy version of a musher's dog box!

That's my friend, Shawn's, truck. He uses a flatbed and keeps the dog box on all year. I have a similar set up, but it fits on top of my pick-up box! It's a very safe way to transport dogs. I know guys who have had accidents with their dog team loaded in the boxes. The trucks have been damaged, the humans injured even, but the dogs have all been safe--scared and bruised, but safe!

When I first saw the picture, I thought "Wow, look at those husky pictures on the side. Very realistic." LOL.

Wow that is pretty cool! and you can put other stuff in there when you dont have the pooch with you.

I've seen something similar here. I live in a small town and we have a lot of hunters in the area. I also see a lot of truck beds filled with crates in the fall. Of course, for every truck I see like that, I see twenty irresponsible people with dogs hanging out of the bed, going 75 MPH on the highway.

That is a great idea. But i too still see lots of dogs not tied in and hanging on for dear life .

Glacier that is too cute, i also thought those were pictures on the side until i got a closer look and realized they were real husky faces!

LOL! It looks like a carnival for dogs or something- that's pretty cool - around here hunters' dogs are transported in boxes with bars, can't stick their heads out.

I just traded my truck in for a quad cab...indoor back seat for the pups!!

[mruffruff]

I used to put 2 large crates in the back of the pick up to take the dogs to the dog park. Now they have a special platform in the back seat.

Oh, to have a four-door!

What a great way to transport huskies.

Those dog boxes are in the back of almost every pick up truck here in Wisconsin. A lot of duck hunters use them for their pooches. I don't see too many dogs loose in the back of pickup trucks here- the ones I do see- they have a cap on the back, which is a little better.
